(ADW) For the past 15 years Dudelange has been the place to be for Celtic music as the Zeltik festival has gone from strength to strength and grown enormously in the number of acts and of course in popularity.

And this weekend confirmed the trend with the 16th edition! Whether music from Ireland, Brittany or Scotland, traditional or fusion with modern touches, lovers of Celtic sounds flocked to the ‘Hall Sportif’ at the Lycee Nic Biever in Dudelange. This was a change from previous years when the Zeltik festival was held in a big tent.

However the whole event actually kicked off with the "Celtic Prelude"on Friday at St.Martin's Church, before the “Celtic Celebration” began in earnest on Saturday evening.

Bands such as ‘Niamh Ní Charra Band’, ‘Ciorras’, ‘triYann ’ and ‘Seth Lakeman’ delighted the crowds on the main stage, while the ‘Luxembourg Pipe Band’, ‘An Ermining’ and ‘The Shanes’ conquered the Pub Stage.
